Well I might have gone fishin' but I got to thinkin' it overThe road down to the river it's a mighty long wayI guess it must be the season ain't no rhyme or no reasonI'm just a takin' it easy it's my lazy day

Well don't you never mind callin' cause I ain't a comin'Just bull ride on by me and stay out of my wayCause just a little deep thinkin' it might start me to drinkin'And I'm a takin' it easy cause it's my lazy dayOh well I might have gone fishin'...[ whistle ]
